    Is there a mechanism for the electorate in her constitutency to force a by-election?

    She fails to see that it is her own dishonesty that has painted the target on her own back. Nothing else. The waffle about dark campaigns to take her down is hilarious.. She's a nobody. She's not newsworthy in any sense.

    What has made her newsworthy is how her greed, dishonesty, arrogance and hubris has undone her. Her own actions.

    "very clear about my values"

    indeed

    I was just thinking that, many would have voted for her also because of the FG membership. If she's kicked out then...

    Though I still think LV would need solid grounds to kick her out. She hasn't been convicted of fraud so that can't really be used against her. But what can given what we know?

    Lads, laaaads, it's up to a judge to decide if she was holding items in both hands or not.

    Fair play to Sean O’Rourke


    His only fuck up was not to ask her why, if she was only looking for expenses, she was looking for 64k instead of the 7k she says they totalled.

    Isn't that pretty much the same thing? Or would she still hold her seat, albeit as an independent?

    It’s not uncommon for people to get expelled from parties. Happens now and again

    She would still hold her seat as an independent. FG cannot take her seat, only the voters of Dún Laoghaire can do that

    He was playing it well not going into it too aggressively. She did all the hanging herself, she can't accuse him of ganging up on her. All he needed to do was to keep her talking and more she said worse it got.

    This is amazing, i called this on another online forum but essentially i said she would try and turn herself into the victim on this one and show shes a strong independent woman (because Ireland loves its strong fair women who are put down by a man).

    Normally though they wait a little bit before going on the offensive, and work with their colleagues to try and rehabilitate their image.

    Damn them keyboard warriors https://www.thejournal.ie/maria-bailey-sean-o-rourke-4655253-May2019/.

    I'll answer that the way Maria Bailey would:
    "I was following legal advice"


    That bullshít didn't wash with John Delaney last month, it won't work here either.

    The absolute brass neck. She has to go. The arrogance and assumed invinciblity of this FG crowd is astonishing.
    The interview is just amazing though.

    Sean O Rourke missed two open goals. Twice she mentioned all she wanted was medical expenses of 7k but he never said why were u claiming 60k?

    She scored enough own goals herself but he missed the big question imo.

    At one point he was about to break his hole laughing when asked what he thought of the interview. I couldn't believe it.

    He didn't in a way, it's even better her didn't as most people listening are like your lying ****.

    She is a condescending ****e though, how dare the rte pleb have this level of insolence and ask her question.

    But yer man did get her to admit those expenses were covered by her private medical insurance, so she wasn't in fact out of pocket to that amount.

    One thing I'll say also is that party HQ won't be happy with a TD saying our papers are essentially not trustworthy.

    This should come as no surprise. These people have utter disdain for the ordinary working person. How dare they be questioned on it.
